Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(3 + -3x + -2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -3x + -2x2 = 0 Solving 3 + -3x + -2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-2'. -1.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 1.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5 1.5x + x2 = 1.5 The x term is 1.5x. Take half its coefficient (0.75). Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation. 1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 1.5 + 0.5625 Reorder the terms: 0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 1.5 + 0.5625 Combine like terms: 1.5 + 0.5625 = 2.0625 0.5625 + 1.5x + x2 = 2.0625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 0.75)(x + 0.75) = 2.0625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.436140662 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 0.75) equal to 1.436140662 and -1.436140662.
